## Legacy tokenizer
|
||||
|
||||
!!! danger
|
||||
The Legacy tokenizer is deprecated and will be removed in Nominatim 5.0.
|
||||
If you still use a database with the legacy tokenizer, you must reimport
|
||||
it using the ICU tokenizer below.
|
||||
|
||||
The legacy tokenizer implements the analysis algorithms of older Nominatim
|
||||
versions. It uses a special Postgresql module to normalize names and queries.
|
||||
This tokenizer is automatically installed and used when upgrading an older
|
||||
database. It should not be used for new installations anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
### Compiling the PostgreSQL module
|
||||
|
||||
The tokeinzer needs a special C module for PostgreSQL which is not compiled
|
||||
by default. If you need the legacy tokenizer, compile Nominatim as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir build
|
||||
cd build
|
||||
cmake -DBUILD_MODULE=on
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Enabling the tokenizer
|
||||
|
||||
To enable the tokenizer add the following line to your project configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
NOMINATIM_TOKENIZER=legacy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The Postgresql module for the tokenizer is available in the `module` directory
|
||||
and also installed with the remainder of the software under
|
||||
`lib/nominatim/module/nominatim.so`. You can specify a custom location for
|
||||
the module with
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
NOMINATIM_DATABASE_MODULE_PATH=<path to directory where nominatim.so resides>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is in particular useful when the database runs on a different server.
|
||||
See [Advanced installations](../admin/Advanced-Installations.md#using-an-external-postgresql-database) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
There are no other configuration options for the legacy tokenizer. All
|
||||
normalization functions are hard-coded.

||||

||||
## ICU tokenizer
